St. Tudy of Landevennec, Abbot(Tudec, Tudinus, Tegwin, Thetgo)

9 May

5th or 6th century. Saint Tudy was a hermit who founded monasteries
and evangelized in Brittany, where place-names and dedications
memorialise his activity or that of his disciples in areas such as
Ile-Tudy on the mouth of the Odet (Finistere), near Quimper. He appears
to have been a disciple of
Saint Mawes (f.d. November 18)
and
fellow-worker with
Saint Corentinus (f.d. December 12).
There is also a
parish in Cornwall named after him, which may indicate his presence
there, too. He may also have been a companion of
Saint Brioc (f.d. May 1)
(Benedictines,
Farmer).
